This lovely short video from the Community Innovation team at Auckland Council.   It provides a two minute peek at some of the mahi of Richard Main in his role leading Gardens4Health, and talks to representatives of three of the Community Gardens -  Sanctuary Mahi Whenua, Dig-it Community Garden and Headway Garden.  Richard talks about the importance of community gardening, and that the team work with over 100 gardens across Tamaki Makaurau.   As described in the blurb, "from sowing the seeds for change in 1998 at Counties Manukau District Health Board, as a project within Diabetes Foundation Aotearoa, communities have grown from the ground up across Tamaki Makaurau"
